One insidious thing about creating tech debt is it not only slows down future work for yourself but also severely hampers everyone else who has to pick up after you

After setting up a private package registry in AWS CodeArtifact, I’m hoping this solves some of the authentication and env var messiness.
Today, we're announcing our first hosted infrastructure product: pyx, a Python-native package registry.
We think of pyx as an optimized backend for uv: it’s a package registry, but it also solves problems that go beyond the scope of a traditional "package registry".

The terms trace and span should be flipped.
Intuitively, “traces” are small bits whereas “spans” cross the entire length ie bridges. But no, for whatever reason their meanings are flipped.

One underrated implication here: we can now build and publish your package without running or even installing Python.
In pure Rust, we can build your Python package, install it, publish it to a registry, etc.

Cloudflare is now offering a feature called “AI labyrinth” where it serves a series of AI generated pages to AI crawlers that ignore robots.txt directives.
They’re essentially serving AI slop to AI crawlers that are training off of a website’s content without permission.
Deliciously devious. 😈

Cloudflare turns AI against itself with endless maze of irrelevant facts
New approach punishes AI companies that ignore “no crawl” directives.

The answer is in the announcement. Obsidian has multiple revenue streams: Sync, Publish, Catalyst, and Commercial.
Obsidian is seven people and not trying to grow the team. Most orgs were significantly out of compliance and enforcement is impossible. This change permits what was already happening.

We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust.
From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!
